Cinema Review ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Cinema Review website and related services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. Please read it carefully.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information in the following ways:

We use this data solely to:
- Enable login and authentication

3. Third-Party Services and Links
Our Service may use or link to third-party services:
- Content and data: We may use data from third-party sources (e.g., movie and TV databases) to display reviews, ratings, and streaming information. Use of such services is subject to their respective privacy policies.
- Affiliate and advertising: We may include links to third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon) or streaming platforms. Those links may use cookies or tracking for attribution. Any purchases or actions on those sites are governed by their privacy and terms of use.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
The Movie Database (TMDB)
Certain pages on this Service display movie and TV information, images, cast and crew, celebrity profiles, and related metadata sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB) via the TMDB API. This Service is not endorsed by or affiliated with TMDB.
When you browse this content, our servers may request data from TMDB on your behalf. Those requests may include technical information TMDB needs to operate their API (for example, your IP address may be visible to TMDB as part of a standard HTTP request). TMDB’s use of that information is governed by their policies. We do not use TMDB data to build a separate profile about you beyond displaying the information you see on our site.
For TMDB’s terms and privacy practices, see: TMDB Terms of Use, TMDB API Terms of Use, and TMDB Privacy Policy.
Amazon
Our Service may include links to Amazon or other Amazon storefronts (for example, product or availability links). Those links may be standard URLs or affiliate links. If you leave our site and visit Amazon, your activity on Amazon is governed by Amazon’s privacy notice and terms of use, not this policy.
Where we participate in the Amazon Associates Program or similar programs, we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through those links, at no extra cost to you. Amazon may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute referrals. For how Amazon collects and uses information, see Amazon’s Privacy Notice and Amazon’s Conditions of Use.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the site secure, and analyze traffic. You can block or delete cookies via your browser; some features of the Service may not work correctly if you do so.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required by applicable law for such transfers.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
11. Rewards program, points, and vouchers (including terms)
The following describes personal data processing and important rules for our points-based rewards program (for example, milestone-based ₹100 Amazon gift vouchers described on our Points program page). It supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy. This text is provided for transparency and is not legal advice; consult a qualified professional if you need guidance for your situation.
11.1 Eligibility and region
India (current offering): INR-denominated Amazon gift vouchers and related fulfilment described on the Service are currently offered only where we can verify eligibility and deliver rewards in a manner consistent with applicable law—principally for users in India. By requesting a voucher, you represent that your request is genuine and that the information you provide is accurate.
Other countries: Users outside India may still earn points through the Service, but may not be eligible for the current INR voucher rewards. We intend to introduce similar benefits for other countries or regions when practicable and will describe them on the Service. We do not guarantee timing, availability, or identical reward value or mechanics in every region.
11.2 Personal data we collect and use for the rewards program
To operate the program, verify point milestones, and issue vouchers, we may process:
- Account and identity: WordPress user ID, username, display name, and email address associated with your account.
- Points and activity: Points balance, awards, and related data recorded by the GamiPress plugin (or comparable system) on our site, including logs needed to confirm that you reached advertised milestones.
- Your communications: The content of emails or messages you send to claim a voucher (including any balance or milestone you state), plus standard email metadata (e.g., date and time).
- Security and abuse prevention: IP address, device/browser signals, and similar technical data where needed to detect fraud, duplicate accounts, or misuse of the program.
We use this information to perform the program, verify claims, communicate with you about your request, comply with legal obligations, and protect our rights and users. Where required by applicable law (including India's data protection framework), we rely on appropriate bases such as performance of our agreement with you, legitimate interests (fraud prevention, service security), and where applicable your consent.
11.3 Third-party services (GamiPress, Amazon)
GamiPress (or similar gamification tools we use) processes points data on our systems. Their documentation and settings govern technical behaviour; we configure the program in line with our policies. Amazon (or its affiliates) may issue or fulfil gift cards subject to Amazon's terms, conditions, and privacy notices applicable to your storefront. We are not responsible for Amazon's platform policies or for delays or failures outside our reasonable control.
11.4 Program rules and limitations (terms of participation)
By participating in the rewards program, you agree that:
- The program, point rules, milestone thresholds, and reward values may change, pause, or end at any time with reasonable notice where practicable. We may substitute rewards of comparable value if required for legal, operational, or supplier reasons.
- Rewards are promotional and have no cash value except as stated; there is no guarantee of availability of any particular reward format or vendor.
- We may refuse, void, or reclaim rewards in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, duplicate accounts, manipulation of points, or breach of these terms or our general site terms.
- You are responsible for any taxes or duties that may apply to rewards in your jurisdiction, and for complying with Amazon's or other issuers' rules for gift card use.
- We may retain records of claims and verifications for as long as necessary for legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution purposes.
Nothing in this Policy limits any non-waivable statutory rights you may have under consumer protection or data protection laws that apply to you.
11.5 Children
The rewards program is intended for adults or minors only with appropriate parental or guardian consent where required. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided personal data in connection with the program, contact us using the details below.
11.6 Governing law and disputes
Unless mandatory local law provides otherwise, Indian law applies to disputes arising from this program in relation to our Service, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence where they cannot be contractually waived. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority where you live or work, where applicable law allows.
